English and me
The English language has become a world language in politics, science, trade and cultural relations. It is the language of computer technology. So most things are published in English, and if you want to keep up with the latest ideas in any subject, you need English. The native speakers of English live in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. English is one of official languages of the Irish Republic, Canada and the South Africa Republic. As a second language it is used in the former British and US colonies. English is the language of international communication in many areas of life: air and sea transport, tourism, sport and entertainment, etc. Almost all kinds of jobs use English language. English is used in my own country as a second language. Many modern magazines and papers are in English. I think that the international role of English is standing more and more important nowadays .I have never been in English-speaking country. I listen to many English songs. My sister Ann speaks English, because she studies at the University. In my opinion, I will use English in the future, because almost all jobs demand knowledge of English.

My friend
I’m not a very sociable person. To my mind, it’s not obliged for people to have a lot of friends in order to be happy. It’s enough, as I think, to have one or two friends who are able to understand you and to support you in hard situations. So, there are few people whom I can call friends. We have much in common and we enjoy communicating with each other. One of my friends is Alice. She is eighteen. I can say that she is a beautiful and smart girl. She left school 2 years ago and now she is a second year student of the University. Alice wants to be a journalist. She studies well because she is greatly interested in her future profession. Alice is a hardworking girl too. I admire this feature of her character because I don’t have it. Alice does not have much free time but if she has, she likes to spend it in a good company, consisting of her school friends.

Nature and ecology
Since ancient times Nature has served man, being the source of his life. For thousands of years people lived in harmony with environment and it seemed to them that natural riches were unlimited.
But with the development of civilization man’s interference in nature began to increase. Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with about 1000 million tons of dust and other harmful substances. Vast forests are cut and burn in fire. Their disappearance upsets the oxygen balance. As a result some rare species of animals, birds, fish and plants disappear forever, a number of rivers and lakes dry up. The pollution of air and the world’s ocean, destruction of the ozone layer is the result of man’s careless interaction with nature, a sign of ecological cities system of ecological security should be taken.

English writers
I like to read books. Literature helps us to live in this world and we learn a lot from books. Lately I have been interested in English literature very much. English books teach us to understand the English language the way Englishmen speak.
Such books as “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare help us to understand things which appeared to be very simple in this life.
When I have read this book I have looked at these things on the other side. My favourite writers are Mark Twain, Eduard Kipling, and Agatha Christie. Their books at times I read at the night secretly from the parents been covered myself with a blanket. And I can name many others. Today I will want tell you about Agatha Christie. Agatha Christie is known all over the world as the Queen of Crime.
Agatha Christie’s success with millions of readers lies in her ability to combine clever plots with excellent character drawing, and a keen since of humor with great powers of observation. Agatha Christie’s language is simple and good and it’s pleasant to read her books in the original.

Some of them will listen to out heart and lungs, some will check up our kidneys, liver, stomach, eyesight, and hearing. The others will make our blood analysis, take our blood pressure and x-ray us.
I began to take care of myself. Now I go in for sports because sports make me strong, healthy and cheerful. Every day I do my morning exercises and have a cold rubdown to prevent myself from catching cold. There is a good proverb: An apple a day keeps doctor away. That’s why I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.
In case of sudden and severe illness or an accident calls are made to the first aid station. There the doctors are on duty all day long. There are many ambulances there.
The ambulances are equipped with everything necessary to give the first aid. The patient is transported to hospital. There he is taken to the reception ward first.
